Hi Again Theo,
<<< re 531: switching on my DX ears (hi, Bruce!), at :07 I hear something
like "93-point-five... 31... PM". 2PM also uses 93.5 for Kempsey,
according to the website:

Wow, thanks a lot! 2PM was probably the elusive Aussie "talker" station trying to sneak in under 531-PI all week long on the Cliff. This is the first actual ID from that station that I've managed in 12 ocean beach DXpeditions, and your careful listening in greatly appreciated.
After spending a week DXing on the cliff with booming New Zealand signals every morning and then returning to this DU-dead zone of Puyallup, I'm feeling a little bit like a transplanted Kiwi myself :-)
73, Gary

day of all, with both Australian and New Zealand stations pegging the PL-380 S/N
on certain frequencies. Several Aussies which had been weak or MIA all week
suddenly became vibrant, and three of them (702, 729 and 747) were able to break
through serious domestic splatter for the first time at Rockwork. 747-4QS audio
was heard only 75 miles from 50 kW 750-Portland, no doubt due to the solid rock
cliff helping to silence the pest on the back side.
> As such, vibrant DU's were heard on 7 out of 7 days at Rockwork 4 this
week, confirming a strange pattern of summertime immunity from any DU
propagation collapse. Although the Cliff definitely favors New Zealand signals
(with 531, 567, 603, 657, 675 and 765 very strong on 7 out of 7 days), it will
greatly enhance Aussie signals as well on certain days, like today. Discovery
and confirmation of this freakish cliff-side DU propagation has made this
DXpedition very exciting, and the compact FSL antenna has proven to be the
perfect tool for taking advantage of these concentrated South Pacific signal
boosts.
